DUBUQUE, Iowa – The Coe College women's soccer team fell in its American Rivers Conference opener on Wednesday evening, losing 4-1 to the University of Dubuque. UD started well, scoring the opening goal less than eight minutes in to establish momentum. The Spartans added another in the 14th minute, but sophomore
Danielle Boche scored her first collegiate goal two minutes later to give the Kohawks life. After a stout defensive effort from Coe in the closing 30 minutes of the first half, UD regained a two-goal lead early in the second. The Spartans made it 3-1 in the 50th minute and never looked back, adding another insurance goal to seal the victory.
GAME FACTS
DUBUQUE 4 - COE 1
- Dubuque opened the scoring early in the first half, breaking the deadlock after a save from Monroe fell to the feet of a Spartan attacker. UD immediately made it 2-0 with another in the 14th minute as a few passes sprung an attacker for the second. The Kohawks brought the game back to life less than two minutes later as Boche scored her first collegiate goal after a nicely played pass from Chloe Meiners. Coe's backline and Monroe did well to keep it a one-goal game heading into the halftime break as six saves from the Kohawk keeper sent the match to the break at 2-1. UD regained a multi-goal lead less than five minutes into the second half, netting the third after a quick-striking team move created space for a shot just at the top of the box. Dubuque capped off the scoring with a fourth in the 75th minute, creating the chance with a driving run and a squared ball that was easily finished.
